CCPA: Current Data Privacy Challenges and Enforcement Preparation

The compliance deadline for the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is January 1, 2020. It will affect all for-profit organizations with consumers or employees who reside in California, the 5th largest economy in the world. As companies struggle to grasp the gravity and impact of this new law, we will review its requirements and provide guidance on operationalizing your privacy program to reduce risk and improve your governance posture.

Since the passage of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) in May 2018, there have been multiple instances of companies that have been pinpointed by regulators for not being complaint. As companies collect, process and seek to monetize more data, there must be a way to organize and collect the data points. Now California has stepped into the debate between privacy protections and the technological realities of interacting with businesses in a digital age to force large scale companies to protect personal information, specifically to consumers. This law will forever change how personal information is collected and stored within businesses. However, many amendments still await as final decisions of implementation are pending.

In this session, learn how CCPA is being implemented in several case studies. Explore how specific tools are being used by companies to help classify data from various sources, recognize and delete duplicate information, identify documents that are relevant for compliance purposes, spot dates significant for records retention, and more.  In addition, learn about other ways in which data privacy is being manipulated to provide “better” more targeted services and thereby butting heads with the regulatory trends in both Europe and the United States.
